Los
Angeles Apartments Are On Fire... Literally

December, 2014
A
massive downtown Los Angeles fire - engulfing numerous apartment
buildings - has blocked the northbound 101 Freeway and looks set to
make the usual disastrous traffic in LA even more unbearable today.
As The LA Times reports, more than 250 firefighters battled the blaze
at an apartment tower under construction in the 900 block of Fremont
Avenue. The images are simply stunning...

Incredible...
Two
freeways were closed as firefighters battled a large blaze in
downtown Los Angeles early Monday, the Los Angeles Fire Department
said.
"It's
a large building, about a block long. The whole building is a total
loss. The fire did spread into two neighboring buildings," said
David Ortiz, a spokesman for the fire department. "The fire was
going across the freeway."
Ortiz
said there were no reports of injuries or fatalities in the fire,
which consumed an apartment building that was still under
construction.
He
said more than 250 firefighters fought the fire, which was reported
after 1:20 a.m. PST, and which was under control by 4:30 a.m. PST.
The
fire was under control but not extinguished, and freeways would be
opened soon, Ortiz said.
The
fire spread to two neighboring buildings, including an office
building on North Figueroa Street, where several stories were damaged
by fire and water.
